Royal George, Deptford, SE8

Visited 11/03/26. Visited previously 10/08/22. No cask. Usually but smaller array of Sam Smiths keg beers, XXXX Best, Old Brewery Bitter, Sovereign Bitter, Extra Stout, Pure Brewed Organic Lager, Teddy Lager, Alpine Lager, Dark Mild, Cider Reserve. I didn’t spot the wheat beer sadly! U shaped venue, corner plot astonishingly busy on my late Wednesday evening visit. The right-hand side from the corner entrance has a small amount of seating at the bar counter or in the windows on stools. The other side of the venue provides some tall stools seating at the bar counter and some regular tables and chairs around the perimeter on a carpeted flooring. There might be some seating upstairs, but I didn’t check. The corner location in a quiet spot wouldn’t be the worst outside standing space around here. A bit of a time warp - this is so different to any other establishment around here! If there is any question why SS has this venue, judge it by the packed to the rafter's attendance on my mid-week.

Still exactly the same as Rex's description below, indeed my photo taken yesterday sees the exterior unchanged from the first picture some fifteen years ago, despite there being no real ale you know exactly what you're going to get in a Sams pub and I don't mind the odd one now and again. This one is a backstreet locals pub of which only a couple where in early on a Saturday afternoon. The usual Sam Smiths keg selection was available and the Export Stout was as good as ever at an agreeable £1.70 the half, the pub was comfortable and I liked it a lot.
